While the oTfice of governor ot
Texas pays only $400(1 per year, the
honor attache,! must, be great, If one
can judge hy the amount expended
by the several gubernatorial ciin.li
dates in the late campaign Of
course the figures given do not in—
c.ude the large amounts of money
spenj I'V individuals, nor the time
given by the different friends and
workers, but only the bare sums that
come under the head of "expenses of
t. e campaign." The greatest amount
spent by a candidate for governor
was more than sixty five times as
great as the greatest amount spent
in I he local campaign, though the
remuneration is only t,wici» as great
as the best local salary. Judge Poin-
lerler spent $15,100, Colcjuitt $11.

Engineer Davis Crow of Dallas,
here in the interest of the Denton-
Slidell line,'accompanied by Secre-
tary McCook of the Chamber of Com-
merce, returned Friday night from
an inspection trip over the proposed
route. The enthusiasm of Mr. Crow
was considerably increased by what
lie found and saw, and both he an 1
Mr. McCook were especially pleased
with the richness and fertility of the
country along the proposed route.
Not only did they find enthusiasm in
and near Slidell, but at Kruni and
in the intermediate territory that
such a line would penetrate. A meet-
ing will lie held at Slidell on the
20th, with a number of Denton busl -
ness men attending, to discuss til '
matter definitely. Mr. McCook. af-
ter his return Friday night said:
"Many of the people along the
proposed line were interviewed, In-
cluding many at Kruni, Plalnview
and Slidell and they expressed con
siderable interest in such a railroad
and were free in offering right of
way through their land and stated a
willingness in taking stock■> in a
| company to build it. The matter 1
j subscribing the stock in a home com
| pany and putting their money int >
ji.ie propostiou this way appealed to
'tiieni much more than the giving of
i-onuses, etc.
"Mr. Crow commented especial!:,
upon the feasibility of such a route
an,| the lay of the country, espe
<dally in the Hickory plains commun-
ity offers several routes which would
make it easier to obtain concessions
of rig.it of way, there being no line
thai the route would be compelled to
follow on account of unfavorable
topography. The topography, Mr.
Crow says, offers many advantages
and economical features In bulding
such a road.
"A l' ad projected into the Slidell
country, unlike roads in West Texas,
which are built to develop the coun-
try and reap business later, would
have business from the beginning.
Th»» wheat, cotton, corn and otlr r
farm products raise,] in the section
west of K"rnni and in the Slidell coun-
ts y are something enormous and the
hog and cattle business itself is by
no means a small item. These things
a road could haul out and there
would be the merchandise, imple -
ments, lumber and necessities to sup
ply the section to haul back, to say
nothing of the passenger traftie to
t.ie county seat and to Dallas.

in excess of the democrats urging
